i agree that he didn't put a lot of people over, but that was because he was (and possibly still is) the best guy on the roster (angle, the undertaker, etc were on smackdown)... but when he was asked, he tapped for benoit and cena... and he lost three straight ppv matches to batista...
what helmsley is very good at is making his opponent look good... case in point batista... only two guys have made big dave look good in the ring in the last two years... hhh and the undertaker... even edge and booker couldn't manage to hide all of his deficiencies...
at least hhh was in the flair mould of making his opponents look dominant and just barely retaining the belt, instead of the hogan mould no-selling everything to make himself look better than what he actually was...
